HATIBOX-MAKING MACHINE.

Application filed August 26, 1920.

To all whom it may 007160))1.

' lle it known that I, Jaooe R. 'JACOBSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hatbox-h laking Machines, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in box making machines, and has for an ob je to provide a device of this nature arranged to automatically form boxes, apply a covering or wrapper thereto, also apply bottoms to the boxes, and secure same in position. My improved machine is especially arranged to form boxes such as hat boxes or other circular or round containers having a bottom which is not integral with the body of the box.

Referring to Fig. 1, my improved device consists of adrum 26 sufficiently long to wind a sheet 27 of cardboard or the like intocircular formation and also to support the formed body of thebox while it is being wrapped and bottom applied thereto. The sheet of cardboard is formed into the body of the box on the portion A'of the drum while portion B supports the body of the box while it is being wrapped and bottom applied thereto. After the body of the box has been formed, it will be moved to portion 13 by means of a slidable pushbar or transferring element, indicated by 28, operating in a guide way 28 The device is arranged so that the push-bar 28 will act to push a formed body from. A to B after said drum has made one complete revolution, to completely wind a sheet into proper formation for the body of abox. However, before the box is pushed from A to B, a stapling de'vice29 will act to secure the end of the wound sheet together.

The ends of the sheet are indicated by 36 and 31 in Figs. 16 and 17, also the stapling device 29. After the box has been pushed from A to B, a wrapper 32 will be applied to the box (see Fig. 1), but before the wrapper is applied, a bottom 33 will be placed in position (see Fig. 1a, in which the body of a box is indicated by 8 1). After the bottom has been placed in position, the said wrapper 32 and a binder 35 to secure the bottom in position will be simultaneously applied. In Fig. 18, T have illustrated a portion of a wrapper and binder as they will appear when fed to the body of a box and the applied bottom. Tie wrapper will, of course, have paste applied to the under surface thereof, as will also the binder by means of a pasting roller 36, over which they travel, said roller 36 operating in a pan 37, containing asts, indicated by 88. The wrapper is reeled off a roll 89 and the binder off a roll 10 over an idler 11. The roll 39 is carried by a pivoted frame 42 to facilitate the mounting of the rolls (see 4). The frame may be swung outwardly, as indicated by dotted lines, and the roll placed in the boxes as and pushed downwardly against the tension of the spring i l until the roll can be insert-ed under the roller 4.5. As the roll unwinds, spring 1% will feed it upwardly. The binder 35 is fed along together with the wrapper and in contact therewith; in fact the binder passes between the wrapper 82 and ting roll 36 along the adjacent edge of the wrapper and positioned so that a portion of the binder projects beyond the wrapper which projecting portion is afterward turned over to hold the bottom in place, as indicated in Fig. 15. Vfhile the wrapper 32 and binder 35 are being fed in by the feeding roll 46 and pasting roll 36, said rolls being rotated to produce approxi' mately the same surface speed as the drum 26, said binder 35 will be turned over, that is to say, the projecting portion to overlap the heretofore positioned bottom 33. To turn the said wrapper over, I provide a folder 4C6 21), which acts to turn the proiecting ed e 35 of the binder over and cause it to lie against the bottom 33, the folded in portion being afterward pressed firmly against the bottom by a roller 17 (Figs. 13 and 15), carried by a rock-arm 46. s id a m beine: carried by a rock shaft 49 suitably supported by the frame 51 at one end, and by a pressing roll su port 52 adiscent the other end. The folder 4:6 is carried by the rock arm 48 and s movable with it for a purpose to be described. Durinothe rot t on of t e drum he bin-den will be caused to adhere to the bottom and body 3 1 of the box by the binder roller 47 and a second roller 53, also carried by the frame as, said rollers being positioned at a right angle to each other at the edge of the body portion of the box 34. During the application of the wrapper a roller 54: ill act to maintain said wrapper smooth. The roller 54 is carried by an arm 55 on an oscillatable rod 56 supported at one end by the frame 51 and at the other end by the opposite side of the frame of the machine, as can be seen in Fig. 2. The rod 56 also acts as one of the supports for the frame 52-. The roller 54: rests upon the box and wrapper by gravity. The roller 5% at one end is tapered as at 54E (see Fig. 2), to permit of the insertion thereunder of the body of a box when it is moved from .ri to B. The rollers 36, 1-6 and 55% will be preferably rubber faced. When the drum 26 has made a complete revolution, the wrapper and binder will be cut from the main sheet by a knife 57, the cut off end being pressed down upon the heretofore wrapped portion of the wrapper by se i cutter, said out ofi portion being indicated by LO (see Fig. 7 The knife 57 is pivoted at one end, as at 58, 1, to the frame of the machine. The opposite end of the knife is connected by link 59 to a rock-arm 60, operated by a shaft 61, car rying a shorter arm 62, which by means of a link 68 connects said arm 62 to an arm a on a rock shaft 65 operable by a lever 66; shaft 65 also operates other devices to be hereinafter described. It may here be stated that the operation of shaft 65 operates the knife 57, controls the operation of drum 26 and associated parts, also controls the operation of the transferring derice or push-bar 28. The function of the rollers 67 on frame 52 is to press the sheet 27, out of which the body of the box is formed firmly against the drum 26 during the operation of rolling the sheet into box fern. To facilitate the application of a sheet 27 to the drum 26 at A, I provide feed rollers 68 and 69, carried by the shafts Y0 and 71, respectively, which shafts also carry the feed roller 16 and pasting roller 86. The shafts 70 and 71 are connected by intermeshing gears72 and The shaft T1 is operated by means of a thereby carriedsprocket wheel 74 and chain 75, which in turn is operated by a sprocket wheel 76 on a sleeve 76 on a supporting arm 77. The sprocket wheels 7 6 and 74: Will be proportioned to operate the rollers 6, at, and 69 at approximately the same speed as the drum 26.'that is to say surface speed. The drum 26 is carried by the sleeve 76 and is operated at the will of the operator and malres but one revolution, that is to one revolution of the drum will wind sheet 27 into box form, after which the drum will come to rest. The arm 77 retatably sunports the sleeve 76*. the said arm being in turn supporter by pillar blocks 78 and 79 (see Fig. 2). The support 77 is not rotatable. Movement is transmitted to the sleeve 7 6 by means of a disk 80, secured thereto, a gear 81 loose upon said sleeve, an idle gear 82, and a driven gear 83, Operated by a pinion 84, which in turn is operated by a belt 8 1 and clutch pulley 85, the shaft 86 for gear and clutch pulley being suitably supported by bearings 87 and 88. The gear 88 is loosely carried by a shaft 89, suitably supported in bearings 90 and 91. The shaft carries a bevel gear 92 and afriction disk 93, which cotiperates with a second driving disk 9 1 on shaft 95 carried by bearings 96 and 97. The shaft 95 is operated by a thereto attached gear 98 meshing with a driving gear 99 on shaft 86. It will be obvious that shaft 89 is driven by shaft 86 through the medium of the friction disks 93 and 9 1. The gear 92 on shaft 89 meshes with a similar gear 100 on shaft 101 which shaft also carries a spur gear 102 meshing with a rack 103, which carries the push rod 28. Shaft 101 also carries a sprocket 10 1, which by means of a chain 105 actuates a wiper 106 (see Fig. 2), carried by a shaft 107 supported by bearings 108 on the magazine 109 for the bottoms 33 for the boxes. The shaft 107 is operated in one direction only by means of a pawl 10% carried by the sprocket 110 loosely mounted on shaft 107. The pawl 101 engages a ratchet 111 to shaft 107. lVhen chain 105 is operated, as per arrow 112, Fig. 2, the wiper 106 will have imparted thereto a complete revolution. This will take place while the pusher 28 is mov ing a formed box body from A to B. "While the pusher is returning, pawl 10% will jump the teeth of the ratchet 111, and Wiper 106 will not operate. While a be body is being moved from A. to B, a bottom 33 will be fed by the wi er 10 downwardly out of the magazine and will drop into place at the end of drum 26 (see Figs. 8 and 9), A spring pressed follower 113 will maintain the bottoms in contact with stops 11 1 on the magazine 109, and will feed the pile outwardly when the outer one has been fed or moved downwardly. To position the bottom relative to the box being fed toward it, I provide an apron 115 which is semicircular (see Fig. 13), and alines with the outer surface of the body of the box upon drum 26. The inner edge of the apron is curved downwardly as at 116 to facilitate the removal of a finished box from the drum 26 (see Fig. 2). In combi- Each finger carries an 120 bears, said adjusting device being carried by the frame 51 and is ield in adjusted positions by a lock nut 120. The fingers 117 will be located in such position as to permit the bottom members to drop be tween them and the adjacent end of a box, as indicated in Fig. 1 1. At the time that a bottom drops into place, rollers 18 and 58, also folder 46, will be positioned in alinemerit itli the drum 26, indicated by full lines, 13. As will hereinafter appear, a bottom will be fed with portions during the shifting of a box body from A to B, but will drop into place before said body has been entirely fed onto portion 13. When the box body comes to rest upon. portion B, it will be in contact with the bottom which has dropped into place. By manipulating the adjusting device 120, the position of the fingers 117 relative to the adjacent end of drum 26 can be adjusted so as to regula e the space for the passage of a bottom. When a completed box is pushed off the drum, the lingers 117 will yield or move outwardly to permit the box to be moved off the drum 26. A. completed be will be pushed off drum 26 by a body memher when said member is pushed from portion A toportion B.

Referring to the means to operatively connect the drum 26 with gear 81, said means consists of pawl 121 carried by gear 81, which is loose upon sleeve 76 to engage one of any of a series of notches 122 ft .cd in the flange 128 of disk 80 (see 10 and 2 1). The pawl 121 will be pressed outwardly by a spring 1241. The pawl 121 will engage a notch 122 throughout one revolution of the drum 26, means being provided to cause the drum to cease operating after one revolution has been completed, said means consisting of a rock arm Fig. 3, pivoted as at 126 to a bracket 127. he rock-arm carries a nose-piece 128 to engage a notch 129 a disk 180 carried by the sleeve 76 (see i 10). The disk 130 is normally engaged by the rock-arm and held against rotation; hence drum 26 will be normally held stationary. 1V hile drum 26 is stationary, pawl 1 1 will jump the notches 122, as the gear 81 will be constantly in motion. W hen the drum 26 is to be rotated, arm 125 will be withdrawn from engagement with dislr 130 by means of the hereinbefore mentioned lever 66 on shaft 65. The device will be regulated so as to cause the nose-piece 128 to be withdrawn from the notch 129 to an extent just sufficient to clear the periphery of the disk say for instance one thirty second of an inch. As soon as nose-piece 128 leaves its notch, dish 80 will be rotated by the pawl 121.' As soon as the drum 26 starts to retate, the lever 66 may be released, and 12' will rest against the di notch 128 comes to a position in line with the nose-piece 129, spring 131 will pull arm 66 toward the left, thereby causing the nosepiece 129 to engage notch 128 when said disk and drum 26 will be brought to rest. Simultaneously with the operation of arm 125, friction disk 1 will be operated, also cutter 57 and rock-arm 48. In other words, when arm 66 is operated, shaft 65 will be rocked thereby drawing friction disk 94 to the right of the axis of the shaft 89 (see Fig. 1), nose-piece 129 will be withdrawn from notch 128, cutter 57 will be operated to shear the wrapper, and binder and rock arm 1-8 will be moved to the full line position in Fig. 13. lVhen the drum 26 is at rest, rock arm 48 will be in the dotted line position shown in Fig. 13, or out of alinement with the drum 26, because while the drum is at rest, a formed body will be moved from portion A of drum 26 to por tion 13, and a completed box at B will be pushed off by the oncoming box body; therefore, roller 47 will have to be out of the path of movement of the box. The function of the friction drive represented by disks 93 and 9 1 is to operate the rack 103 for the pusher, or in fact the pusher, firstly to the right in Fig. 1 to move a formed boX body from A. toB, while the drum 26 is stationary d then to return the pusher while the drum is rotating to form another box-body at A, and finish be); at B. The push-rod 28 carries a yieldable finger 132, which operates in a slot or channel 133 while moving in one direction in the d" .m 26 while the drum is stationary. i -Then the drum starts to rotate, the finger 132 being in the position shown in Fig. 2, will be knocked down (see 23), and during the return of the push-bar, the said finger will slide over the surface of the undergoing formation into a box body. The linger 132 is pivotally mounted in the push bar 28 and is held in normal position (see Fig. 22), by a spring 134 (see Fig. 2 1).

To cause a sheet 27 to be carried around by the drum 26, I provide a gripper 135 (Figs. 3 and 5), which is actuated by a spring to grip a sheet and by a cam spot 1.3. on a disk 138 to rel ase said gripper, and also to hold it open. The disk 138 is secured to the fixed rod or support 76. Vi hen drum 26 is at rest, gripper 135 will be open, being moved into such position by the cam spot 13?. After a sheet 27 has been. inserted between the gripper and drum (see Fig. 3), and the drum started, roller 139 will roll ofi the cam spot 137 and said gripper will be caused to engage the sheet by spring 140. The gripper 135 is pivotally conne ted to the drum 26 at 141. During the rotation of the drum the sheet will be pulled around by the gripper 135,'but will be released soon as the drum has made one revolution in order that the box-body can be pushed away. While the sheet 27 is beingrolled, it will be maintained smooth and close against the drum by rollers 142 carried by frame 52. After the drum 26 has completely rolled a sheet, I provide means to secure the overlapping ends of the sheet together (see 17 In this instance, I

have illustrated a stapling device hereinbefore referred to by 29. The stapling device acts to drive staples, indicated by 1&3, through the overlapping ends of the sheet to secure the sheet is box form (see Fig. 19). The stapling device, which I have illustrated, is more or less diagrammatic, it being on the order of a well device for stapling sheets of paper; at any rate it consists in this instance of two plungers l l l actuated by cams 1 15, carried by a shaft 150, operated by a sprocket wheel 151, a chain and a sprocket 153 on shaft 70. The proportion of the spr eket gearing will be such as to cause cams 1&5 to rotate in unison with drum Just before erum complates one revolution, the plungers 1 1 1 will start to descend and slightly before the said drum comes to rest, two staples, in this instance, will have been sheared off the strips 154, 20, and caused to contact with the rolled sheet. During the final movement of the drum the staples will be driven tl rough the overlapped ends of the sheet and be clenched by the anvil portion 155 in the drum 26, whereby the said overlapped ends of the rolled sheet will be secured together. The strip 15% will be fed forward upon the return stroke of the plungers by a pawl 156 cari'ed by a rock-arm 157, said being *tuated by a projection 158 on the plrmgers in this ins ce, is carr'ed by the frame 51 by means or cross-brackets 159. in oreer to operate rock arm shaft 19, 1 provide same with depending arm 160, which by means of a link 161 connects said shaft with a depending arm 162 on shaft 65. To operate he friction disk 9%, I provide shaft 65 with an upstanding arm 163, which by of a link 16 1- is connected to a lever 165, said lever, by means of a link 166, carrying a fork 1617, actuates or moves disk 94; longitudinally of shaft 95, said fork engaging an annular groove 168 on the hub 169 of said disk 9%. The lever is provided the purpose of positioning disk 94C re ely to disk 93 to produce the proper movement upon the part of the push-bar in other words, when nose-piece 128 is in push bar, it moves to the right 1), and to the left when nose-piece is out. The cutter 57 performs two functions that of severing the sheet and binder and also to force the sevcred end down upon the box body upon the drum 26 at position B. To ac omplish this latter feature, said cutter will be formed ryw A ihe casing 158 for the stapling device,

ectare with a relatively broad shoe 170 (see Fig. 7). As cutter 57 is operated after the drum has ceased rotating, there would be a loose end to the wrapper, and I prefer to apply the said loose end to the box by means of the cutter. hen the cutter descends, it will not only sever the sheet, but will also force the loose end down upon the box, as indicated in Fig. 7. When the drum is again started, feed roller 16 will feed the sheet ahead under squilgee roller 5%. Drum 26 will be in motion for a slight distance before the fed in sheet will contact therewith; hence, when the drum comes to rest, there will. be a small portion of the box, which is not covered by the wrapper, the so to speak bare portion will be covered by the hereinbe'lore mentioned loose end indicated by 171. The portion oi the binder carried by the loose end may be pressed down upon the bottom of the box by the fingers or otherwise, or it may be cut oil. The push-bar 28 will act, while the drum 26 is stationary, to move a box-body from A to B, but will return while the drum is rotating. The knife 57 operates when shaft 65 is rocked through the action of spring 181 to cause nose-piece 128 to engage slot 129 to stop the drum. \Vhen drum is started, by pulling lever 66 toward the right in Fig. 1, knife 57 will be raised to normal position. When nose-piece 128 is withdrawn from the notch 129, d sk 94-. will be moved from dotted position, Fig. 1, to full line position, in which the push bar 28 will be moved back to normal position while the drum 26 is rotating.

this time cutter 57 will be up, and recliarm 48 in, as per full lines, Fig. 13. When nose-piece moves into notch 129 again, dislr 94: will be moved back to dotted position, Fi 1, and push bar 28 will then move to the right in Fig. 1, and push the formed box body from A to B. At the same time cutter 57 will act, and 1O(Zlfl1'111 18 will move out to dotted position, Fig. 1-3. There will be enough space between the body of a box at A and a completed box at B to permit the cutter to operate before the formed bodycommences to move the completed box off. The stroke of the push-bar 28 will be saidcient to accomplish this result; in other words, the stroke of the bar will be greater than the length of a box.

To operate the device, a sheet 27 will be fed by hand or otherwise to the gripper 185. The lever 66 will then be pulled in the direction of arrow, Fig. 3, after which the drum will start and the push-rod 28 will move toward the left Fig. 2. After a complete revolution has been made, the drum will stop and the rolled sheet stapled. As soon as nose-piece enters notch 129, cutter 57 will operate and arm 48 move out. This operation. on the part of the cutter will be an idle one at the commencement of the operation of forming a plurality of boxes. T he push-bar 28 will now move to the right and push the formed box body onto section B of the drum. A new sheet will now be fed to the gripper and the above operations will repeat, excepting at this time, the body pushed onto B will be wrapped and sup plied with a bottom. The next time a formed body is pushed onto B, the finished box will be pushed oil. By means of my improved device, I wrap a box and place a bottom therein while a box body is being formed. As soon as push-rod 28 pushes a box body clear of the gripper 185, a new sheet 27 will be fed in by the operator and when said body is pushed into position on B, lever 66 will be operated to again start the drum. To prevent the push-rodfrom operating too far, I pivot the last tooth 180 in the rack 108 (see Fig. 26). When gear 102 clears the next to the last tooth 181, the rack will not move farther. V5 hen lever 66 is again 01 erated, tooth 180 will mesh with gear 162, and the rack will return as explained. The push-rod 28 acts in feeding direction while the drum is stationary and in the opposite direction while the drum is in motion. The complete travel of the push rod, in either direction, talres place during one revolution of the drum 26. After the rod finishes an idle stroke, it will immediately commence an operating strolre for the reason that when it has completed an idle stroke, nose 128 will step into notch 12;), thereby drawing disk 94: to dotted line position, which will operate the push-rod to the right (Fig. 2).
